Welcome to the third world.

Put it in clear plastic jugs and stick it outside in the sun. Just to kill whatever is in it. And to let it settle out.

Welcome to the third world.

Having lived in Ft. Worth, Texas and Weatherford, Texas was only a piece down to road...(in Texas that means 30 miles), I have visited several times.

I can tell you it's no third world country...

Their city water treatment system may need to be upgraded, but brown tinted water in Texas should surprise no one...

Most city water is not filtered, but sits in tanks and whatever sediment is in the water sinks down to the bottom, it chemically treated, then tested and passed on to the customer...

The extra rainfall just stirred up extra sediment...

Welcome to the third world.

I live in Davao City, in the Philippines. It is considered "third world". Yet, it has one of the best water supply systems in the world. I drink it daily with never an ill effect. I can not say that for everywhere I have been.

The Davao City Water District (DCWD), among the first water districts to be established in the country since the promulgation of PD 198, as amended also known as the Local Water Utilities Act of 1973, ranked number one in the listing of the top 50 water utilities in the Asia-Pacific region in the Asian Development Bank's Second Water Utilities Data Book published in 1997, It shared top ranking with the water utilities of Singapore and Johor Bahru of Malaysia.
